4/18/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Reds (Arroyo): 6:10 PM CDT

Skaalen show Braun his OBP was lower than his BA before today's game? Braun's approach has looked much better today

[iluvlamp]

Or a mild strain he could have..yoda...

 

# Mild (Grade I)--Slightly pulled muscle without tearing of muscle or tendon fibers. There is no loss of strength.

[GormanHarvey]

Considering the injury, those may have been fastballs the last inning he threw to strike out Votto.

 

You could tell by the movement that the were definitely change-ups, except the last one

[rluzinski]

When did they say it was a tear? How would they even know that right now?

[steve267268]

Reds broadcasters just said that the fact that the players and coaches vote on gold gloves instead of the media is "a joke"

 

I think the Reds franchise has become a joke. And i think it's a joke that they have such opinionated announcers for such a poor franchise. I guess you do a lot of talking when the product on the field is consistently horrible. Yet, Ueck seems to have handled it well.

[iluvlamp]

Not saying it was a tear just throwing the info out there.

[And That]

When did they say it was a tear? How would they even know that right now?

I don't think anyone said it was a tear. Just an "if it is" bit o' info.

I know i'm going to regret this but how money is Torres tonight?

[TauPentaRei]

OR.

 

Ned looks at the score and the opposing team on the field and figures he can give him the rest of the day off.

Reds offense at Great American...? 4 runs is equivalent to Heidi Montag's IQ

 

[And That]

Torres has looked pretty good. While I'm starting to get worried about burning Torres out, you might as well give him another inning cos he won't be available tomorrow either way.

Sheet's new nickname: Mr Glass..

 

I was suprised to hear it was tightness in his triceps.. his hair was looking shaggy.. I figured he couldn't pitch because he found some split ends like last September.

[GormanHarvey]

At least we don't have to listen to Brian Anderson talk about Ben Sheet's right "growen" strain for the next 2 weeks

[And That]

Todd Coffey is pitching well against us. Now I've seen EVERYTHING.

[naivin]

Tricep tightness...Sounds oddly similar to the "upper back tightness" he left a game with about a year and a half ago. Of course that turned out to be a torn muscle in his shoulder (the Brewers can refer to it as a back muscle all they want, but the injury was clearly in the shoulder). What's this going to turn out to be? Hopefully just a little tightness, but Sheets history would probably suggest otherwise.

Ah yes, let the trashing and insults begin!

 

Like flies to wanton boys is Sheets, they kill him for sport! (Sorry Bill)

 

 

 

 

[Roscoe Chill]

Another fluke injury! There's no such thing as injury prone. He's only had two injuries his entire career. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

Yes.. I fully understand I am being unreasonable and overreacting, however, I am still so mad he couldn't suck it up last September, especially after watching Radke in MN throw all season with a torn shoulder to try to get the Twins in the playoffs.. I will still aruge with anyone that when healthy he is a top 5 - 10 pitcher in the NL but I have little faith in him making an entire year healthy or not playing through pain to get the Brewers in the playoffs so until he proves me otherwise I reserve the right to be a big baby about it.. : )

[iluvlamp]

COFFEE LUCK!

[Trowekamp]

If Sheets takes one off the shin like that he is out for the year.. probably a full knee replacements or amputation..

[kiwi brewer]

i'll take my coffey straight with a bruised shin, please. ouch.

 

i'm sure it's not very dependable but the yahoo box score says ben sheets left game in 6th inning with a strained triceps. i'm sure they are just speculating.

[Roscoe Chill]

When he's so good when able (operative words when able) but can't even get through the first three weeks of the season without SOMETHING to happen health-wise, I just don't understand how anyone can say with a straight face that they're not worried, given his history. His NEW nickname is Mr. Glass? I've seen this movie before.

[Brewtacular]

Hey maybe Big Ben hasnt heard of this but I highly reccomend overly indulging in feremented liquids to ease the pain. Im already getting less upset about Ben leaving the game....

[iluvlamp]

Trowe

 

That sir made me spit my coke a little bit.

[logan82]

"He hit that one on the nose, I mean shin."

 

Nice one Bill.
